Sophisticated sugar-derived compounds transform dehydrated and pollution damaged skin into an instantly dewy fresh complexion. This ultra-lightweight and refreshing gel releases weightless moisture for immediate and long-lasting hydration without leaving skin sticky or greasy.
- Caesalpinia Spinosa (Tara) Fruit Pod Extract and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Sprout Extract: blocks IR and blue light-induced free radical formation as well as protects mitochondrial DNA. Inhibits screen and light-induced skin damage while protecting barrier integrity, preventing inflammation, and replenishing density due to sun exposure.
- Orobanche Rapum Extract: an award-winning antioxidant extract that reactivates the natural skin renewal cycle from top to bottom with 6 synergistic actions designed to balance microflora, reinforce firmness, and energize skin.
- Alpha-glucan Oligosaccharide: a breakthrough prebiotic sugar complex clinically proven to promote the growth of friendly bacteria, protect the pH of skin, and prevent proliferation of harmful microorganisms that can lead to skin problems. Significantly strengthens skin’s natural defenses to ensure that it stays healthy and clear.
- Polysaccharide: a bio-fermented sugar that combines superb balancing, protective, and antimicrobial activity, while soothing signs of physical and environmental aggression. Restores skin comfort and helps balance skin’s bacterial flora. Decreases redness and irritation caused by UV, retinoids, and skin resurfacing agents.
- Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, and Xylitol: cellulose derived sugars optimize water transport to boost moisture reserves within cellular water channels (aquaporins). Strengthens the skin’s barrier function by boosting synthesis of epidermal hyaluronic acids, proteins, enzymes and lipids, and enhancing skin’s volume and plumpness.
- Hyaluronic Acid: a bioactive humectant that delivers instantaneous plumping moisture into the skin’s surface and promotes healthy cell formation and skin recovery after aggression. Helps cells maintain moisture reservoirs for long-lasting hydration.
- Red Seaweed: multifunctional algae extract from frigid Scandinavian waters protects the skin against pollution, while delivering superior hydration and rapidly boosting the amount of natural hyaluronic acid in the skin. Increases production of ceramides for a more supple and resilient barrier, as well as filaggrin, an epidermal protein essential for the synthesis of the NMF (natural moisturizing factor).

After cleansing and toning, apply 1-2 pumps to face and neck in the morning and evening. May be combined with other moisturizers or treatments for one-step application. Apply generously before and after prolonged exposure to UV radiation, computer screens, mobile devices or air pollution.
